Abstract
Today’s youth are different from previous generations in their greater access to
computing and communications technologies. Games are a key part of their culture, and gaming
has influenced their learning styles and preferences. Educators and trainers can take advantage of
the power of games to engage and motivate learners by applying the principles of instructional
design to the use of games for instruction. The challenge to instructional technologists is to
develop the “l337 5k!lz”
(elite skills) required for effective design and development of
instruction for the Games Generation. This paper examines why and how games can be used to
support learning.

Return to topInterview with an Instructional Technologist
Overview
For this small group project we videotaped an interview with David Armstrong, an Instructional Technology Specialist at Santa Clara University. My responsibilities on the project included shooting and editing the video and building a presentation slideshow in Flash. I used a QuickTime extension to convert the footage to the Flash video format (FLV), making it easier to stream the video.
